I've had my 2 year old cat for about 7 months now. He was previously with a couple who were in the process of moving, and from what I understand, neglected to show him much love, affection, or at best attention. When he moved in, he was nervous and shy, and so covered in dandruff that it was hard to get near him (which I understand was a side effect of stress) he's now happy here with me, he is affectionate, and smart, talkative, and all around quite the character ( I know, everyone loves their cat best! haha). He has this one mannerism that I'm not sure how to decipher however. I believe it is to show affection, but I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts. A couple times a day, he presses his head against myself or the couch and does this stomping motion with his paws, all the while purring as odd as it sounds, he also rapidly licks his lips/makes a slurping noise when you rub or scratch him on his lower back!! HE absolutely loves it!
Any thoughts?
